Method 3: Run as Administrator

First two methods are very useful but this method is just for quick access. Sometimes that type of issues only come when the application is not running properly. In simple word, whenever we run an application some of the files from the application wouldn’t be able to perform, that’s why that type of problems come. So let’s see how it works.
